1. What Made You Decide To Go Into Real Estate?

After two decades in the financial services business providing investment and retirement solutions I felt it was time to move away from traditional “Wall Street” investments. Market volatility and heavy Government Regulations have made the retail financial adviser’s job not so much about finding sound investment solutions for his or her clients but rather one of searching for products which either best serve the Company or the Regulators or both. Real estate is one of the last asset classes where buyer and seller are free to strike a deal based on their common interests rather than the Federal Government’s. Individual States have strict Laws and Standards to protect the consumer without being a burden to the process. All parties can reach a fair and equitable solution to their needs. Whether it is housing for a young family, retirement and downsizing, or investing in Real Estate for long term income it is a unique asset class that makes up the financial core of almost every American’s life. Real Estate is central to the American Dream and has created more wealth than any other asset in history.

2. What Is Some Of Your Professional Experience?

Completed the three year training program with Morgan Stanley and was number five producer out of two hundred thirty five other members of my starting class. I achieved the Presidents Excellence award for each of these three years and have achieved the “Star Producer” award with Jackson National Life Insurance two times. In 2008 I started an Independent Hybrid Financial Advisory firm that had over two hundred fifty million dollars of assets under management and opened four offices in San Antonio, Houston, Dallas and Austin in five years. As well as considerable investor and retirement planning experience I am a licensed Texas Real Estate Agent, Insurance Agent and Realtor@. My goal is twofold: to help all Americans find affordable housing as well as professionally serving the astute investor community who invest in real estate for retirement and long term generational wealth.

3. What Do You Like About Your Community?

Texas is consistently ranked as the top economic generator in the nation and the four major cities, Houston, Dallas, Austin and San Antonio continue with strong growth each year producing more jobs and opportunities while still providing a low cost of living and reasonable housing prices. Each of the different cities has it’s own distinct personality but my favorite is San Antonio. Founded around 1700, and one of the oldest cities in America, San Antonio boasts a rich Hispanic culture with four historic missions including the most famous of all, the Alamo. San Antonio is the major economic anchor and stepping off point for all of South Texas and the diverse economic activities available in this part of the State. My favorite parts are San Antonio and south to another historic city and major petroleum refining center Corpus Christi which is also the gateway to Padre Island. Cities from Corpus to Port O’Connor which run along Mustang, San Jose and Matagorda islands include Port Aransas, Aransas Pass, Rockport-Fulton and Port O’Connor. Some of Texas finest birding, salt water fishing and beautiful beaches are found along this corridor of beach and beauty.

4. How Do You Work With Buyers?

I will do a search based on the buyers criteria, we will narrow it down then visit each potential home in person. I feel the major advantage is the experience in the mortgage and building industry. I have a great eye for seeing problematic issues both structurally and cosmetically due to my diverse background. You will want to personalize your new home so have an open mind as we search.

5. How Do You Work With Sellers?

I will prepare a thorough market analysis to find the current market value of their home. There will be an open house the first weekend on the market and others depending on the number of contracts received. I will walk through the process with the seller up to and including attending the closing at the title company. I have much experience in many phases of the home building industry, I can help the seller look at ways to make the house appealing to buyers without spending a lot of money. Since you are moving anyway, lets make this property shine and pack up what is not necessary for the household to function. This will insure the fastest sale at the highest price.
